Originally appeared on www.sensibleerection.com, an aggregator site. "Porno Question" by N910N, March 26 2002 just a quick question...do you think watching porn has taught you anything about having sex? I told my girlfriend that it definately has and that without porn I really wouldn't have any idea what to do, especially with head. Anyone else feel the same way? Mozai replied @ 4:05am on 27th Mar I learned from porn that I'm supposed to last for twenty minutes of straight pounding even in in the clam position. I learned from people like Kevin Smith (Silent Bob) that it's an illusion: a fuck scene is done in many takes, and often the cuts to a different scene or position is because he came, and they had to wait for him to recover. Can I last twenty minutes? Sometimes. Not every time. Christ, sometimes she can't last twenty minutes. "Enough already, we're not going for distance." I learned from porn that everybody likes to give and receive head. I learned from real life that almost no woman likes giving head, and some women even get squirrely about receiving head. I learned from porn that anal sex doesn't require lube. I learned from friends that there's no such thing as too much lube, and not enough is painful. I learned from life that even fewer women are into anal sex as are into giving head (the actual number of women who dig anal sex seems to be less than one, possibly less than zero). I learned from porn that my dick is inadequately small; embarassingly small. I learned from life that my dick is more than enough for the job, and it's still big enough to hurt if misused. I learned from porn that barely legal teens are wizards in bed and giving head. I learned from life that people in their mid-twenties (disappointingly) often still don't know how to participate in sex, nevermind perform well. I learned from porn that people will do crazy stuff to amass porn, and to complete collections.
